Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg issued an apology after Facebook briefly removed a video of Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi posted on July 23. The apology followed warnings from the Indian government (the Centre) and a parliamentary panel that Meta could lose its 'safe harbour' legal protections if it did not apologize. The article explains the context of the video removal and the concept of safe harbour, which shields platforms from liability for user content. The incident highlights tensions between global tech platforms and national governments over content moderation and legal immunity.
